    Makaveli, although only a 12 track album is definitely his deepest and most thought provoking work. Pac will never be matched in this life or the next 🤜🤛

      Yea that's why it's my favorite album it brought tears to my eyes when I first heard it and still evokes the same emotion when i hear it now. He was the best rapper prophet leader etc of our time man it goes beyond words you can only know that this man was gifted it was beyond talent.

      He got it from rakim the no cussing part that's the thing he mastered all their styles rakims, bid daddy kanes, krs one, etc he could use it all at any time if deemed necessary and kill them with their own styles if they ever tried to diss him as he said in one of his interviews but yes he says "Mind state so military, Suckers fantasizing pictures of a young brother buried"

    "Hold Ya Head"
    (feat. Tyrone Wrice)
    [Malcolm X prison scene:]
    Yo, Jackson! A 231549
    Yeah, close four! Comin' down!
    Crichlow! A 5991301
    Close five! Comin' down!
    [2Pac:]
    My homeboys in Clinton And Rikers Island
    All the Penitentiaries
    Mumia, Mutulu, Geronimo, Sekon
    All the political Prisoners
    San Quentin (Look at Satan) (I see him)
    All the jailhouses, I'm with you
    [2Pac (Tyrone Wrice):]
    Yeah, one thug, one thug
    (How do we keep the music playin'?)
    You're listenin' to the sounds of one thug
    One thug, one thug, how do we get ahead?
    You're listenin' to the sounds of…
    [2Pac:]
    I wake up early in the mornin', mind state so military
    Suckers fantasizin' pictures of a young brother buried
    Was it me, the weed, or this life I lead?
    If daytime is for suckers, then tonight we breathe
    Out for all that, knowin' that this world bring drawbacks
    Look how they shiver once I deliver these raw raps
    Meet me at the cemetery, dressed in black
    Tonight we honor the dead, those who won't be back
    So, if I die, do the same for me, shed no tears
    An outlaw thug livin' in this game for years
    Why worry? Hope to God, get me high when I'm buried
    Knowin' deep inside only a few love me
    Don't rush me to the gates of Heaven
    Let me picture for a while, how I lived for my days as a child
    I wonder now, how do we outlast?
    Always get cash, stay strong if we all mash; hold ya head!
    [Tyrone Wrice (2Pac):]
    How do we keep the music playin'?
    (Yes, you got to hold ya head!)
    How do we get ahead? (Hold ya head!)
    Too many young black brothers are dyin'
    (Yes, you got to hold ya head!)
    Livin' fast, too fast
    [2Pac:]
    These felonies be like prophecies
    Beggin' me to stop, 'cause these
    Lawyers gettin' money every time they knock us
    Snatchin' pockets lyrically, suckers flee when they notice
    Switched my name to Makaveli, half the rap game ghost
    Exposed foes with my hocus-pocus flows, they froze
    Now suckers idolize my chosen blows
    And mo' money mean litigatin', mo' playa hatin'
    Got a cell at the pen' for me waitin'-is this my fate?
    Miss me with that misdemeanor thinkin', me fall back?
    Never that, too much tequila drinkin', we all that
    Make them understand me? Hell nah, this ain't my posse
    Everyone with me is family, 'cause everybody's got me
    Watch me paint a perfect vision, this life we livin'
    Got us all meetin' up in prison
    Last week I got a letter from my road dog, written in blood
    Sayin', "Please show a playa love"-hold ya head! (Hold it!)
    [Tyrone Wrice (2Pac):]
    How do we keep the music playin'?
    (You got to hold ya head!)
    How do we get ahead? (Come on, hold ya head!)
    Too many young black brothers are dyin'
    (Yes, hold ya head!)
    Livin' fast, too fast
    (The weed got me tweakin' in my mind, I'm thinkin'…)
    [2Pac:]
    God bless the child that can hold his own
    Indeed, enemies bleed when I hold my chrome
    Let these words be the last to my unborn seeds
    Hope to raise my young nation in this world of greed
    Currency means nothin' if you still ain't free
    Money breeds jealousy, take the game from me
    I hope for better days, trouble comes naturally
    Runnin' from authorities 'til they capture me
    And my aim is to spread mo' smiles than tears
    Utilize lessons learned from my childhood years
    Maybe Mama had it all right, rest yo' head
    Tradin' conversations all night, bless the dead
    To the homies that I used to have that no longer roll
    Catch a brother at the crossroads
    Plus nobody knows my soul, watchin' time pass
    Through the glass of my drop-top Rolls; hold ya head!
    [Tyrone Wrice (2Pac):]
    How do we keep the music playin'?

    He was making multiple albums at the same time. One nation was an east coast collaboration with the old school rappers from the late 80s and early 90s.
    Also this album is the best in my opinion. He wrote the lyrics in 3 days, its not just the 12 songs. There are like 6 others that are unreleased on TH-cam. Also it took 4 days more days to make beats. Its crazy he wrote these songs before the beats was even made and it still is world class. It was going to be a free mixtape as well but when he died suge knight saw an opportunity to make money.

      If you want tracks for the ladles toss it up, just like daddy...live and die in LA gave you a tribute track, life as a outlaw is that hardcore track, blasphemy is that spritual track and there hasn't been a song like hailmary in the history of hip hop before or after 96...pac had something on this album for any and everyone!!!

    He was going to release this and was going to have enough songs to be a double album but about 15 songs got cut after he passed, which is daft cause the songs cut are fucking flawless, as is his entire catalogue!

    I consider myself a huge Tupac fan, but I think that Hector has got me beat. I've never seen him react to a Tupac track that he didn't appear to absolutely love and FULLY appreciate. I ain't gonna lie, there are some Tupac tracks that I really don't care for, and have listened to very little cause they don't connect with me. But they all seem to connect with Hector. It seems like Hector's mind and heart are totally open to Tupac's work, which is beautiful.
    I know that there are A LOT of Tupac fans that love Makaveli, and rank it right up there with his best work, but I've never felt that way. It has a few songs that I really enjoy, and the rest is MEH. To me personally, ME AGAINST THE WORLD is better, as well as UNTIL THE END OF TIME, ALL EYEZ ON ME, R U STILL DOWN, THUG LIFE, STILL I RISE, and even BETTER DAYZ.
    The lyrics on MAKAVELI are typical Tupac brilliance, but sonically, musically, and production wise it just falls short for me personally. Maybe it's because Johnny J is not part of it, for whatever reason. I FULLY believe that Makaveli would have been better with Johnny J. I've heard different reasons why Johnny J is not part of it, but I don't know what to believe.

      Johnny J not on it because after all eyez on me Tupac was criticized on the east coast saying it was only so big because had best producers and features on it. Tupac went to death rows 'wack room', which were the producers no one wanted to work with, smashed it out in 3 days rapping-wise. He was going to release it as under ground mixtape under Makaveli to prove he didn't need best beats but Suge blagged him to release it so a few songs were taken off, Toss it up and just like daddy added and then final mixdown took 4 days, so 3+4=7 day theory.
      I think the roughness adds to it personally, especially 3 day theory version..

    In New York
    Yusuf Hawkins was 16 years old when, in August 1989, he traveled with three friends to the insular white neighborhood of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, from his predominantly black neighborhood of East New York, to inspect a used car. Shortly after 9pm, a mob of white teenagers - some brandishing baseball bats, amped by a rumor that a local girl had invited black friends to town to taunt them - cornered the group. Someone fired a gun; two bullets struck Hawkins in the chest, killing him.
    2pac had mentioned yusuf 16 years old in his revolutionary speech 1993 indiana black expo alongside with the murders of latasha Harlins 15 years old also mentioned in the song hellrazor and Bobby Hutton 17 years old.

    "God bless the child that can hold his own", One of Tupac's favorite songs by Billie Holiday.

    The song Pac is singing in the begining "0ne Thug" is a old classic Song by the Rap Group Whodini who put out one of their all time best songs "One Luv". An emotion relationship song of Man who can't make their mind up with staying in a realtionship verses being greedy getting too many Women. They was the 1st Platinum selling Rap Group and Pac show them respect singing that line. Plus The West Coast Legend E-40 made a song off the Title "One Luv" for his Homies to pay respect to Whodini and that Masterpiece.

    First off, the scene that you're hearing is "X" starring Denzel Washington. (You should check it out.)
    This is by far one of my favorite records from Pac. Top 5, no question.
    Thr reason why this album is top tier is the fact that he's literally stratigizing on wax. And that is unheard of.
